Abstract

A girl presented with a right adrenal mass, and multiple hepatic lesions and subcutaneous nodules 3 months after complete resection of left adrenal neuroblastoma in the neonatal period. She was treated with six cycles of chemotherapy and is well after 13 months’ follow-up. This is the first case report of heterochronous bilateral adrenal stage 4S NB.
